Hey all, indie pop-folk group, the Decemberists, will be making their orchestral debut at the Hollywood Bowl this Saturday, backed up by the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra. And I was given the very lovely task of presenting a couple of tickets to a very lucky person — the first commenter who wants ‘em. Please send me your full name, email address and whether you like to pick them up at will call or have them mailed to you. Seems like there’s been a slate of these ticket giveaways on LA Observed, LAist, Eye Spy LA and so on, so by now there should be a pretty good (and Internet-savvy) crowd going to this particular concert.
The giveaway seats are located in Section K1 Row 16 (normally $40 a piece), which is just right behind the terrace boxes and my favorite section to sneak into at the Bowl. You get to make fun of the people who are having fancy dinners in their cubicles, you’re still close enough to the stage to make out the performers’ expressions and there’s a big jumbotron screen overhead in case you want a closer look.
I’d try and take the tickets for myself cuz free Bowl tickets, cool indie pop band and the L.A. Phil on a lovely Saturday night? Good times. But I’m going to be out of town so they’re yours. Let me know if you want them by leaving a comment or emailing me at caro at carolineoncrack.com.

Hey Pedro, they’re yours if you send me your info asap, i.e. full name, email address and whether you like them mailed to you or left at will call. Otherwise I’ll have to give them to the next person who gives me all their info.
If Pedro Doesn’t want them. I’ll definetely take them!
OK kids, the first person who sends me their info first: email address, full name, whether they want the tickets mailed or left at will call gets ‘em. Hurry!
Hi Caroline,
If they’re still available, I’d love them! My full name is Vi Marsot and I’d be able to pick them up at will-call.
Sorry kids, they are gone. Thanks to all for replying. The show isn’t sold out so if anything you can still get cheap seats for $20.
aww I’m assed out its ok i didnt follow the rules
Sad! I missed out of this one. I saw them a couple of years ago, they put on a fantastic show. Congrats to Vi.
not sure if they are getting a good turnout because even i got free tickets, and i have ZERO pull in this town.
hey caroline, hope you had a good weekend away! i actually ended up going to this show. the decemberists were ok (not a big folk rock fan), but andrew byrd (the second opener) and the philharmonic were awesome!! and the outdoor setting is always slightly surreal.
